[WHEN PHONES WERE FUN: MOTOROLA I930, 2005] When it comes to fun phones from Microsoft, everyone always thinks of Windows Phone, the beloved-but-doomed platform launched in 2010 to do battle with the iPhone and Android. But there was a whole decade of devices that pre-dated those phones, a parade of pocket-sized Windows machines of every color and shape – and this one was, by far, the weirdest. The year is 2005 and this is the Windows Mobile-powered Motorola i930 for Nextel. Let’s have some fun with it. [ABOUT THIS VIDEO] This is the latest in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2013. This episode was produced with two Motorola i930 units purchased by MrMobile. MrMobile does not offer manufacturers the opportunity to preview, edit or approve content before publication. Neither Motorola nor any other manufacturer provided compensation in exchange for this coverage. The lone sponsor of this content is Surfshark.
